Ingredients

Doughnuts

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 egg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup pumpkin puree

Maple Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup (maybe more) Maple syrup

Instructions

The first thing you want to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees F

In a large bowl add all of the dry ingredients: all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix to combine

In another bowl whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree until smooth

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Make sure you don’t over mix!

Lightly grease your doughnut pan and fill the molds with the dough

Put them into your preheat oven and bake for 12-14 minutes

Once they’re cooked turn them out and let them cool slightly before you put the glaze on

In a small bowl add the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Slowly add the maple syrup while mixing, adding one tablespoon at a time making sure the consistency isn’t too runny. If if seems very runny add a little more powdered sugar

Dip the doughnuts into the glaze, shake off the excess, and devour while warm
